> Microsoft being down is like having a contingency for a tornado.

I'm probably misreading your point, so, apologies, but I'd still just like to say:

Microsoft is a profit-driven, human-run corporation that mostly offers business infrastructure services. I think contingency planning for Microsoft service failures is almost entirely unlike contingency planning for adverse weather events?

> having a contingency for a tornado.

Sounds like a normal thing to do if you live in Kansas. And perhaps we are all about to start living in the software equivalent of Kansas?
